One of the reasons I get out of bed in the morning is my tea. Can’t live without it. I get up, put the kettle on and then brew a cup, letting it steep for the recommended four to five minutes. Then I add a bit of milk and enjoy. Otherwise, why bother getting up and dressed?
But it’s black tea I drink the most, at least two cups in the morning. Tea is good for you! But isn’t green tea supposed to be better? I’ve tried green tea, bought quality loose-leaf brands and a gorgeous Chinese tea pot for inspiration, but the woody taste doesn’t appeal. Am I missing out on important health benefits? Yes and no.
Because the story on green tea is a little more complicated than you might think. If you’redrinking green tea for the good of your health and your waistline (it’s reportedly good for boosting metabolism to burn calories), be aware of the green tea diet side effects and green tea symptoms.
